American Patriots Three Percent
American Patriots Three Percent, also known as AP3 or APIII, is a far-right American militia group that identifies itself as part of the Three Percenters movement.[1]
The organization has used social media including Facebook as a recruiting tool.[2] An information leak from a right-wing website in 2021 has led to the identification of many members from the organization.[3]
Scot Seddon founded the organization during Barack Obama's first presidential term.[1] Seddon used TikTok to recruit new members in July 2024 following the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.[4]
